I need to get my hands on a Laptop. The use will be fairly basic - watching movies & music, MSN, Microsoft Office, storeage of photos and general internet use.

I want Wireless, and a long battery life would be a positive attribute. I know very little about computers so some advice would be appreciated. Want to spend about $1,500-700. It's main use will be overseas (America) for 9 months, so I'll need an international warranty.

I'd like to have one that has Windows & Office included.

Any advice?
